Display Folder disappears after refresh the dataset

I created some display folders to store different fields in Power BI desktop. Like below. I used excel as the datasource and I would refresh the dataset everytime before I publish the report.  ...

We are having this issue with Power BI Desktop for Report Server (Jan-2021) release.

 

When will a fix for "Power BI Desktop for Report Server" be made available?

(obviously this issue is quite debilitating for report design/changes).

Thanks.

 

FYI the behaviour we are experiencing is:

- Create a new report with a Live Connection to an SSAS MD cube in Power BI Desktop for Report Server (Jan-2021)

- All measures are present and usable in the Fields blade for the new report.

- Click [Refresh] - an error occurs and some (but not all) measures & Display folders are no longer present in the fields list.

- Opening an existing PBIX report in Power BI Desktop for Report Server generates the similar/same error as above and the same measures / display folders go missing in the Fields blade (although visualisations that reference them still display correctly)

 

Details of the ERROR generated:

JS Error Message: Cannot read property 'clone' of undefined

PowerBINonFatalError: {"AppName":"PBIDesktop","AppVersion":"2.88.2361.0","ModuleName":"ms-pbi://pbi.microsoft.com/minerva/scripts/exploreui.js","Component":"","Error":"TypeError","MethodDef":"mergeDisplayFolder","ErrorOffset":"16352:62"}
